There's No Place Like Home

This is probably my last post from China.

We have our 'red couch picture' this morning and our Consulate appointment this afternoon. Then we need to go to bed because we have to be ready to leave tomorrow morning by 5:00am. We then get to spend 8 hours at the Hong Kong airport before our flight for Chicago leaves at 5:20pm. We are scheduled to land in Chicago at 6:55 pm central time Wed, only an hour and 1/2 after we leave Hong Kong (trying to look at the bright side here!)

We are so anxious to get home----well actually to BE home, not really looking forward to GETTING there!

I wonder how Lili will handle everything? The flights, the long wait at the airport, the car seat, our animals, our home, her room, the rest of our family, the new schedule, the new time zone, the jet lag..........the wondering just goes on and on. We'll be happy to be back to normal, but Lili thinks that this here in China is normal. Well, we'll just have to wait and see I guess. She'll just have to adapt. We adapted for her, now it's her turn!!

Thank you all for your comments, emails and support. We'll see you on the flip side!
